In a world of constant stimulation and relentless information, my paintings exist as counterpoints to chaos. The geometry settles. The color begins to breathe. What first reads as order reveals itself as something more alive.
My work is built from layered color, precise lines, and interlocking planes, a process of accumulation and refinement that is both rigorous and intuitive. I am drawn to the tension between control and feeling, and to the moment when a composition finds its own equilibrium.
A painting begins with a single form. That form informs the next, and the next after that, a slow unfolding of shape and value, each decision made in response to what already exists on the surface. The composition is never fully planned; it reveals itself through the process.
Color does a lot of the work. It shapes how a space feels, how the eye moves, how long you stay. Palettes are chosen not for decoration but for emotional and spatial effect, to create a sense of expansion, stillness, or quiet intensity depending on what a piece needs.
Building a palette follows a similar logic to the forms themselves. I generally know the color territory I am working in, but the specific mixtures are determined by the painting as it develops. Each color is a response to what came before it, not a decision made in advance. Read more on how Josef Albers shaped the way I see color.
Landscape is always somewhere in the background. Not depicted, but felt: the geometry of a ridge, the expansiveness of open sky, the stillness before weather, abstracted into forms that carry memory, emotion, and spatial presence. These experiences become form without ever naming their source. I explore this further in Artist Philosophy: Minimalist Landscape Art.
I think about attention a lot. We live in an environment that fragments it constantly, and I'm interested in what it means to make something that asks for the opposite, that rewards slowing down, looking closely, staying a little longer. Each painting is a singular object: layered, precise, made by hand, and built to hold its presence in a room. They recalibrate perception, offering moments of focus, contemplation, and presence. Each work transforms the space it inhabits. See how these works live in interiors in Abstract Art for the Living Room.
These are works for people who want to live with something that continues to give, that changes with the light, with the season, with where you are in your own life.
